Are we safe?

[JayGreen17]

Leicester scraping a win at pigs tells you all you need to know- they’re the only side that are underperforming more than us. Thank fuck for Bamford btw. What a shambles this season has been.

Leicester didn’t win…

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

We are safe. End of thread. Not a chance we go down i’d bet all of my assets on it.

Is the punchline here that you are homeless?

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

If we win on Saturday, Leicester and Oxford lose then we are mathematically safe.

If we get mauled by the Tigers you may seem me crying down Shoreham Street way....

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Please tell me we are.
I've been here before and it never ends well.

Not even WE could phuck this up, could we.....?

 

[Shawy24]

Some of us on here of the ages late 60’s and beyond have seen us phuck it up from seemingly impossible positions before, two or three times. Hence my bookmarking posts like that of Matt Bianco saying it’s impossible. Said at the start that this season smells of relegation. We will have succeeded if we avoid it.

 

[Dkc]

Yep, the fact we are still even discussing it tells you everything about this season.

UTB

The fact that we're discussing a scenario that the bookies have at 500-1 tells you more about our fans than anything else.

 

[Guesty]

I remember all the "we are SAFE" posts back in the old forum in the PL under Warnock, shortly before we played Villa.

We'll not go down this season but I can completely understand folk being wary.

 

[UddersBlade]

I still cant get over us losing 20 games in 41 fixtures so far this season. Simply unacceptable. Pathetic even.

Anyone know if this is our worst number of losses in our history in a non relegation season??? We can’t have had many like this with so few draws..:.

True ,,, but it felt like a loss to Wednesday q

We've had 3 previous seasons where we've lost 20+ and not been relegated.

We lost 21 from 42 in Division 1 in 1929-30 and finished 3rd bottom, when only 2 went down.

Ditto in 1953-54..

We also lost 20 (from 46) in Division 3 in 1982-3, but we won 19 and finished 11th.

We could lose every remaining game and the chances of going down are slim to none.

It won't help the mood one bit though if that's what happens.

Read on X this morning that some still see Wilder as performing a 'miracle' to keep us up.

Getting us to the play offs would have been in that ball park but staying up?

 

[Badger Blade]

We should be alright, unless there's a freak set of circumstances.

Leicester still have to play Pompey so either way, points are getting dropped in and around the relegation places.

If we can squeak a win somewhere, it'll make things absolutely sure but the teams down the bottom are running out of games.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Two points from our next two games would probably see us mathematically safe.

If they were American those would have been the same people saying that Trump is doing a good job in Iran. Realistically Wilder's side has dropped 30 points from winning positions based on his management style last season where he was the messiah because he got us 92 points (finishing on 90) we should be looking at the dropped points in a different light, playoffs shouldn't haven't been seen as unachievable and realistically autos should have been up for grabs and before anyone says anything about that. Ipswich were 20th at the end of August and 13th at the end of September fast forward to now and they are 2nd with 2 games in hand over 3rd.

Having seen Hull last night go toe to toe with the Champions elect and look the better side for much of the game can you really see us beating them with our current form?

I may well be wrong but rather than go all out to capture some pride back and quieten the Ra Ra Ra's up, I'm expecting us to roll over and have our tummies tickled by our exes on Saturday.

Some incredible twisting of the situation going on. People are talking like we have Wednesdays squad and that we were 9 points adrift at Christmas. As ever with Wilder, people on both sides are saying he's either done amazing or terrible when the truth lies in the middle.

 

[ChrisBlade]

That is true. However, it seems to me that quite a few of the people who now say Wilder should be sacked because we might have been able to reach the playoffs with an expensive squad had he not missed-managed us are people who said after his first three games when no new manager bounce materialized that we were dead and buried and relegation bound.

 

[Pedro Verde]

So we're not safe! ( yet)

I think we are
Dont think Iranian Ballisitic missiles can reach Sheffield

With 5 games left if we win all those 5 games we will be 24 points worse off than last season. Selles ultimately was responsible for losing 15 points so in theory if we win every game until the end of the season we could say under Wilder MK3 we are 9 points adrift, if that turns out to be the case, I would genuinely say that’s not his problem as it does take some time to get into the players etc. If though we don’t win any matches there has to be some form of thought about how we progress from that as we could end up 39 points worse off which is a large gap

That’s fortunate, a direct hit on Hillsborough could cause a couple of quids worth of damage

Why reply to my post in a negative way? I was just stating that we MIGHT be mathematically safe after this Saturday's match and it doesnt mean that I think we will beat Hull on Saturday.

Am looking forward to this Saturday's match because I have known Matt Crooks since he was a little boy. His parents are friends of mine and I am expecting to see them at the match also his sister and three brothers (SUFC season ticket holders)
